God knows I hate to agree with anything from the Biden administration, but they’re right. Airlines get away with treating people like crap because they can. If it doesn’t cost them money then they’ll screw you into oblivion because you essentially have no recourse. They just declare something that’s obviously their fault as a “weather event” and leave the passengers hanging.
Build your own airline or fly your own plane then.
These people are so stupid. The airlines will just raise fates to compensate with a cushion to protect their profits.
Yup. My daughter flew home from college last week. She had 4 bags. Her 1st class ticket was $341 and that gave us 2 free checked bags. They charged her $350 for the two additional bags- one which was a backpack. When I checked her into the flight it never asked how many bags she was checking- they assumed it was only 2. Why were blindsided by the charge. I am now in the process of fighting American to get at least $290 back
They treat you as you are able to pay.
Pay more, and you get more services.
But just like health care, most is just bad if not awful. I have chosen to drive more than fly because the pain is to much.
and if they put this into place you can expect ticket prices to increase accordingly.
